Andy Cooney, the Long Island-born entertainer christened "Irish America's Favorite Son" by The New York Times, has released the music video for his new single, "Everybody's Irish (You Know That Way)." The video, directed by the Emmy winning Kieran McGirl, arrives just in time for St. Patrick's Day and captures the joyful, inclusive spirit that has made Cooney a beloved fixture on the Irish-American entertainment scene for over 35 years.
The song is a celebratory anthem built on a simple, universal truth — on St. Patrick's Day, it doesn't matter where you're from. The video brings that message to life with the warmth, humor, and infectious energy that Cooney's fans have come to love.
"People send me songs all the time to record," says Andy Cooney. "And, I listen to every one of them — you never know when you'll find a great one. A writer from the Bay Area, Darrin Mazzille, sent me this song he began writing in Santa Monica on St. Patrick's Day, 1986. Here we are, 40 years later, and it's finally seeing the light of day!"
The release marks the latest chapter in a remarkable career that includes 20 albums, eight sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall, and collaborations with country legends Larry Gatlin and Crystal Gayle. Cooney has performed alongside Ronan Tynan and The Irish Tenors and was a founding member of The New York Tenors. His recordings have earned significant airplay throughout Ireland and the UK, and his annual Cruise of Irish Stars — now in its 28th year — draws over 1,000 fans each year for a Caribbean celebration of Irish music and culture.
